Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

I began this gorgeous Sunday at St. Albans Congregational Church in Queens, where I was honored to joiin @drichardsqns.bsky.social and Sen. Leroy Comrie.

My sincere gratitude to Reverend Wilson and First Lady Sharon Ecke-Wilson for allowing me to join the service and share a few words.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.

California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

GoFundMe wanted to build a service to help groups fundraise for social projects and then it became a backstop to our broken healthcare system.

It looks like they are now a backstop for our broken system when it comes to food insecurity especially given cuts and the tanking economy.

GoFundMe CEO says economy is so challenged people are raising money to buy food

GoFundThis: Some surprising items have begun to make the list for crowdfunding lately, according to this CEO.

This is a great opportunity to practice using cash. Try buying a few physical OMNY cards with cash and alternate using them. The system makes using cash difficult, so build a practice with one small cash purchase at a time.

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
